    Surely GWS would be desperate to get Pick 3 because of Tom Green.

    I know he just extended but Pick 3 for Taranto? Grew up a Melbourne supporter. Is that just a pipe dream?

     

     

    Seriously their B&F and best in the GF. Time to think realistically.

    Looking like the Langdon deal might be more complicated than the Kelly one, which has already been completed.

    Really surprised we didn't have a look at Howard from the Power 

    surely an upgrade on Oscar down back?

    Bonar is a strong bodied inside mid who has had 2 knee redo's. We have enough inside mids and dodgy knees for mine.

    A witches hat would be an upgrade on OMAC. Harder to get around.

    Don't people get sick of bagging Oscar?  It's such a bore. Last time I looked he played for us and hence we should support him.

    Only so much you can do when you're the 17th placed team who trains in a dog park, shares the showers with a few other teams and hasn't won a flag for 55 years I guess...

    All we can do I guess is aim for minimum 6 upgrades on last years list.

    So far

    PRO    Tomlinson

    Cons  Frost

    Why the f@#$ did we pick up tomlinson who is slow yet get rid of frost who is our quickest player. bloody stupid.

    We've bloody lost the plot. we're the slowest team in the comp before this idiotic move. Not looking forward to seeing tomlinson hobble down the wing whilst he is trying to catch jaiden Stephenson or something. ffs

    When did we get rid of Frost?

    Still plenty to play out there, Doc.

    These trade periods just drag on. Nothing really happens until the last couple of days. If not for the AFL wanting the publicity, we could do it in 3 days.

    Or even just an original joke about him.

    It's all predictable, repetitive and boring.

    Well i must say i am totally underwhelmed by Melbourne's recruiting so far. The saints, Carlton, Eagles, and cats are all doing great while we tend our knitting in the corner. So many free agents and what we could only come up with two we were interested in, Elliott and Tomlinson. Did we really have such a good year and have such a talented list that we did not think it worth our time trading $'s instead of draft picks to pick up some much needed talent. Quite frankly this does not make me feel as if we are making much progress.

    Hypothetical - would people trade Brayshaw in a straight swap for Brad Hill

    Yes, but not for the 900k a year he has asked for.

    How about $800k and Bell pitches in $150k each year on a three year deal?

    Some are saying we wont fit under our cap but if we did $650k and the Dockers cover say $150k and get pick 3...i reckon they'd be more than happy with that.

    We have Lewis, Stretch, Frosty, Bull Smith and JKH off the list already.

    Imagine Hill on one wing and Langdon on the other.

    Need pace. Hill is pace. Get Hill

    well pick 6 and a second rounder is rejected. so we'd need two top picks to get the job done. Freo are impossible under Bell.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
